Kohl’s Recognizes Two Local Students for Volunteer Efforts

Two local students are being rewarded for volunteering in the community.

Today, the Kohl’s Department Stores’ Kohl’s Cares® Scholarship Program will recognize more than 2,200 young volunteers nationwide who have made a positive impact in their communities through volunteerism.

Among the winners are two local students Jessica LaMont, 18, of Feasterville Trevose, and Matthew Lincoln Pozzuolo, 11, of Feasterville.

“Kohl’s is thrilled to recognize more than 2,200 young volunteers who have dedicated their time and energy to bettering the communities in which we live,” said Julie Gardner, Kohl’s chief marketing officer.

“Every effort, large or small, makes a difference. Through the Kohl’s Cares Scholarship Program, we strive to not only recognize these efforts but also encourage outstanding youth to improve their communities through volunteerism.”

Jessica and Matthew are among 102 youth from Pennsylvania who will each receive a $50 gift card and recognition certificate from Kohl’s to honor their community service efforts.

These winners qualify for the chance to receive a $1,000 regional scholarship for post-secondary education, which Kohl’s will award in July.

Of the more than 200 regional winners, 10 national winners will each receive a total of $10,000 in scholarships and Kohl’s will donate $1,000 to a nonprofit organization on each national winner’s behalf.
